Saturday 28 October
Esther Short Park and Playground - 12pm - 2 Hours
Vancouver Photography Group
Emanuel Gales
Join us for an immersive journey into the world of photographic composition. This key element is at the very heart of the art - the arrangement of visual components within the frame. Delve into this topic, and be amazed at the wealth of information from formal rules and varying opinions traced back to historic art movements and painters. Even as we advance into the digital realm, the importance of composition remains paramount. It is the lighthouse guiding our journey through an image, bestowing importance on the subject and painting a bold narrative for the viewer. The story you wish to convey as a photographer is interwoven in the composition itself. In this special gathering, we will investigate the concept of composition, using our frames and the tools available to us as photographers. Together, let's explore, learn, and ensure every shot we take truly matters.

    I did not know what to expect. being outside and the weather was cool. Thought it should have been inside a classroom setting to start out with. Being at the waterfront park had it's distractions of a public park dealing with people and noise of this location. But I did learn more about photography skills which is what I had hoped to do.
